The Sailor in the Saddle.

AT about ten minutes to twelve yes
terday morning three jolly Jacks be-
came DESTROYS of showing the untutored
Islander how to ride. One of the trio
was mounted on a small black beast,
whose proclivities for racing we're un.
limited. Everything went we'll until
the three got ARREST Of each other, when
the racing propensity asserted itself.
Away flew the horse and of course the
rider too, dropping the steering gear
and holding on like grim death to the
saddle. They dashed along King street,
turned down Bethel street, and it was
doubtful to tell where they would moi
have cones II, in turning the Post
Office corner, both horse and rider had
not started in rolling, for a change.
The tar was only little shaken up by
the fall, but the horse was badly skinned
Jack gave as his honest opinion that
the horses here are altogether different
from any other he ever rode and that
people here don't care for a person,
neck, anyway"

Natural Mimiery.

Some insects have a deceptive resem-
blance to members Of the vegetable
world, either for the purpose of protect
/ ing themselves or for that of decOyine
their prey. But more wonderful simu-
lation is that of the features of other in
sects.
There is in Borneo a sand-wasp which
is addicted to the habit of devouring
crickets, but there is also a species of
cricket which exactly reproduces the ap-
pearance of its enemy, so that it can even
A speeies 81 iiinantis initiates the white
ant, and mixing with the family, like one
of its own members, quietly devours a
fat termite, from time to time.
Flies often dwell as unbidden guests in
the nests and hives of wild honey-bees
They are belted and bearded in the self
same pattern as their unconscious hosts,
but their larve pay for their hospitality
they steal by devouring the young grubs
of-the hive.
Beetles often initiate hornets, since the
latter are insects TO which birds in search
of animal food prefer to give a very wide
berth. Even the mimicry of singing in
sects Is sometimes performed by innocent
little creatures quite destitute of any such
means of defence A common insect,
known in England as the devils coach
horse, throws up its tail in the aggressive
fashion of scorpion, when irritated, but
it has no hint of sting. In its warlike
attitude it is exceedingly alarming, not
only to boys and girls, but to chickens
and birds.
The bumble-bee flies, which are mot
fensive little creatures, initiating the wild
bee, fit about and buzz angrily in the
sunlight, quite after the insect they copy,
and gain an undeseryed reputation of
fierceness.
Certain beetles have become modified |
to resemble wasps, even to the extent of |
losing their solid waists for others of |
ultra fashionable slenderness, and others,
which mimic bees, have acquired useless
little tufts of hair on their shanks, to rep |
resent the pollen gathering apparatus of
the true bees.
A curious case Of imitation is that of |
two species of Malayan orioles, which are |
almost exact counterparts of two yarie-
ties of honey-suckers. The latter are |
such fierce birds as TO be avoided by all |
theiI feathered neighbors, and thus the
orioles find their own deceptive plumage |

The number of shad caught during
1856 in the Hudson River is placed by
Fish Commissioner Blackford at LIZA,
s35, of which 100, 312 were sold in the
New YORK market. With an average
price of SIS per 100 the total value was
$176, 225.
The salmon industry is on the decline
on the Columbia River, Oregon. Last
year somewhat more than 436, 600 cases
of salmon were put on the market, against
565, 900 cases in 1885 and 62G, 600 eases
in 1884. The scarcity of fish is accounted
for by the blocking of the river by means
Of traps, seines and nets.
The red-snapper is now a standard fish
in New York markets. The fish are found
on both sides of Florida, those on the
west coast being the larger, though big
fish is not as desirable as the smaller ones.
Connecticut vessels engage in the bust
ness, and the favorite ground is on the
cast coast, off Cape Canaveral, south
wardly to Indian River, in from twelve to
fifteen fathoms OF water. Few fish are
taken north of the Cape.
The favorite dish of the Chinaman,
trepang, OF beche de mer, is eaten as
soup, and very good soup it makes. The
fish commission calls attention to the
holohuria, found in immense quantities in
the region of the Queen Charlotte Islands
and Alexander islands of Alaska, as well
as on the west coast of Nancouver's
Island. When properly cured the trepang
would be worth S45 a ton in Canton.
During 1886 the United States Fish
Commission has placed il the various
waters of the United States, from the
tributaries of Narragansett Bay to those
of the Columbia River basin, %, 404, 600

his immediate charge the obtaining Of
the eggs of the shad and the rearing Of

How to Clean Wallpaper.

Take off the dust with soft cloth.
With a little -four and water make a
lump Of very stiff dough, and rub the
wall gently downward, taking the length
Of the arm at each stroke, and in this way
go around the room. As the dough
becomes dirty cut the solid part off. In
the second round commence the stroke a
little above where the last one ended, and
be very careful not TO cross the paper or
90 up again. Ordinary paper cleaned in
this way will look fresh and bright, and
almost as good as new. Some papers,
however-and these most expensive ones
will not clean nicely; and in order to
ascertain whether paper can be cleaned,
it is best to try it in some obscure corner,
which will not be noticed if the result is
unsatisfactory If there be any broken
places in the wall, fill them up with a
mixture Of equal parts of plaster of Paris
and silver sand, made into paste with
little water; then cover the place with
a little piece Of paper like the rest, if it
can be had.
